Hi, sorry for such a late reply, The site is holding it’s own. around 400 “real” members now. I could be doing alot better, but i refuse to play googles seo games. and i am always on the look out for spammers and scammers, so spend alot of time deleting suspect members. we recently installed a video chat room, and upgraded the forums.(wich has been a great success) so if anybody here is looking for a fun place to meet new people, without being harassed by scam artists or spammers, come check us out ! It is 100% free. soon as you sign up, you get instant access to the chat rooms, then when you upload a picture to your profile, you get a “lifetime gold” upgrade. (photo must be approved by admin, helps us to weed out the scammers)

Personally, I’ve had more luck with online dating services than I have in the “real” world. I think there are a lot of benefits to using online services. For one, it’s easier to begin communication. Why? Because you don’t have to be at the same place at the same time (i.e. A bar or coffee shop). You can simply say hello via email and the person will get that email whenever they are able to come online. That’s one huge plus, but I think there are many.

Even simply corresponding. With online sites, you don’t have to “nail” the first impression, you can easily get a reprieve. I could go on and on, but I just wanted to mention a few and share my opinion.

Gone is the stigma that followed anyone who joined an online dating and singles site. Finding love on the internet is very common now. Ill bet most reading this blog will know someone that has used online dating.

Originally I was against using dating websites and any social networking sites. But eventually got used to the Idea. It took some time. Been using http://www.lovebyday.com quite regularly now.

Thanks for waiting everyone.

That Single Guy, thanks for the comment. Have you had online relationships so far? What has your experience been with them?

postergirl, thanks for the comment, and thanks for updating on the different-race-match existence on the site now. Have you tried other online dating services yet?

How to date, thanks for sharing. So do you consider your situation a success story of online dating/meeting?

Karenk, thanks for commenting too. Do you work for “Orange County Singles” service?

Also, while it is true that the society is becoming more accepting of online dating services, does that mean the online dating services have become good ideas or that you should like them?

Swingers couples, thanks for the comment and for sharing that information. Would it be possible for you to share if going through such sites helps your relationship?

Loki’s Lounge, thanks for the comment too. I have e-mailed you about this already I think. Sure, you can include credited quotes on your site from here.

How is your network doing so far?

Thanks again everyone.

In the past meeting people in real life was generally more accepted than meeting people online. If you would have asked me 10 years ago whether or not I would join an online dating service, and my answer would have been an emphatic “NO”. Over the past 10 years, online dating services have come of age and now (at least in my opinion) society in general is more accepting of them and as such more people have joined an online dating service now than ever. In fact, the industry has gotten so successfull that tons of “niche” online dating sites have sprung up seemingly overnight. Jdate.com, Orange County Singles, Adultfriendfinder and so on and so forth.

I think that while there are still some drawbacks to meeting people online, for the most part it is a quick and easy way to meet a bunch of people, then weed out the ones you like from the ones you don’t like and then you will have yourself 2 or 3 potential matches that you will most likely wind up dating (if even for one night lol).

Well actually e harmony will match you with someone of a different race. I was on the site for a short while and was matched with people of other races. However I didn’t stay on the site very long. Eharmony’s matching factors began to feel like walls and restrictions. Communicating just had too many forms and steps before I could get to know who I was communicating with.
